Dust off your leather jacket — Ardbeg Ardcore is the palate-PUNKturing limited edition released for Ardbeg Day, the loudest day in the whisky calendar. Created with roasted black malt fired to the extreme, Ardcore is all about substance — a dram that wears its black heart on its sleeve. Inspired by the devil-may-care attitude of Ardbeg's loyal fans and a few lesser-known folk from Islay's punk past. This is bottled for the hardcore.

• Finish: Long, smoky, and deeply satisfying — the roasted malt and peat intertwining in a finish that lingers defiantly
